Hmm.. This is somewhat embarrassing, but I made a couple of further tests, and I'd like to sum up my view on this matter at this time:
* The "Regional Formats" setting in Language Support affects the LANG environment variable, which typically determines the region specific formats settings for most applications. * The display formats of time and date in Unity's top bar are not controlled by the LANG variable, but are instead explicitly set in the Time & Date tool that e.g. can be launched from the Control Center. * As regards the weekday and month names, they are displayed in the language that is set on the "Language" tab in Language Support. Please see the attachment "weekday-month-lang-unity.png". I would say that Achim's observation regarding the display language of weekday and month names is not a bug, but it's an improvement compared to how it works in the Classic Desktop (or, if you like, a feature). Before closing this bug, I for one would appreciate confirmations from both Achim and somebody from the Unity team that my latest 'theory' is correct, and that I didn't overlook anything important again. :-/ Awaiting those comments I change the bug status to "Incomplete". ** Attachment added: "weekday-month-lang-unity.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/771994/+attachment/2092373/+files/weekday-month-lang-unity.png ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771994 Title: Wrong regional format -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
